…: Concert Vibraphone :…

This is a rare instrument that spent decades in a European opera house, filling grand halls with its voice. We brought it to our studio and recorded it in an intimate setting with a remarkable musician. Despite its history, it speaks in a quiet, introspective tone — just the way we love it.

THE MAKING OF TONE
– The instrument includes 5 presets, each with its own X-slider blending four sound layers.
– All layers are based on the original vibraphone tone, along with sounds from rare synths, oscillators, and test equipment. It was recorded extremely softly using 8 microphones — mostly ribbon and tube — with up to 5 velocity layers and 8 round robins:

SUSTAINS
– Sustains were recorded in two styles — with soft mallets and wooden sticks. Even the loudest dynamic was performed incredibly softly. Using high gain in various tube preamps, we captured every nuance.
– This preset also includes randomly played octaves on the X-slider side, which sound especially beautiful when playing chords.

MUTES
– Short muted notes recorded in two versions — with soft mallets and with wooden sticks.
– One of the sound design layers is synthesized through a tube oscillator modulated by the vibraphone itself. Another layer is a cassette-recorded version of the mutes, captured multiple times at reduced speed on an old Japanese tape recorder.

BOWED
– Played with a cello bow, this articulation has two velocity layers: short and wavy in soft dynamics, longer and more intense in louder ones.
– The X-slider layers mimic the bowed tone using oscillators, LFOs, and function generators — some running fast enough to produce musical tones we sampled for this patch.

TAPE SUSTAINS
– A sustain vibraphone recorded on several reel-to-reel tape machines (Studer, Telefunken, and Uher) in two versions:
– Type I – Recorded at half speed, combined with tube compressors and EQs
– Type II – Recorded at double-half speed for a more degraded, lo-fi character
This preset’s X-slider includes multiphonics played on the vibraphone tubes with a bow — a rare and mysterious technique. Another layer is vibraphone tremolo, where the playback speed of each note varies based on round robins.

PREPARED
– Prepared vibraphone was recorded by placing different objects on each note — coins, paper, foil, wood — all vibrating from the mallet strike.
– Each of the 8 round robins uses a different object, making the sound unpredictable.
– The X-slider includes fast accented tremolo, and its processed version run through tape delays, loopers, and pitch shifters.

INSIDE THE INSTRUMENT
Source
– The core sound is shaped by four sliders controlling each mic type’s volume, each with its own panning slider. The instrument features 5 patches, each with four additional sound layers blended with the original sound via an X-slider.

FX
Classic effects with vintage charm:
– Vibrato – Adds small periodic changes in the pitch of the signal.
– Warm – Creates rich, nonlinear distortions for a gritty, edgy vibe.
– Tremolo – Introduces subtle amplitude modulation that adds motion and pulse to the sound.
– Echo and Reverb – Make the sound ethereal and mesmerizing.
– The Master section has a filter and a shelving EQ, allowing for precise sound sculpting.

Movement
– The Movement panel houses a 12-step, highly customizable sequencer and two LFO modules—the heart of our instrument—that can be connected to all key elements.

Master
– The Master panel features two vintage octave filters that split the signal into 10 and 16 bands, along with a three-band shelving EQ with adjustable crossover frequencies. Also present are controls for pitch, noise level, and output signal.

FEAUTURES:
– 5 different variations of the main sound
– Custom tape designed and eurorack style patches
– Up to 5 velocity per note and 8 RR
– VST3/AU plugin for macOS (10.11+) and Windows
– NOT compatible with Pro Tools and any other DAWs that do not support VST3/AU formats
